I will be at this crapfest today likely watching the Cubs score a negative number of runs and give up about 2 touchdowns worth. Fortunately for me, the tickets were free and they include unlimited food and drink. If it gets too bad, I won't care because I'll be smashed.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm going to cut off another one of Koyie's fingers for every game he starts the rest of the year.

 

Its not Koyies fault that his manager would rather play a journeyman backup catcher who will be gone next year over a guy who might actually have a future.

[mookie]

Man, if there is anything I hope to see for the rest of the season it is Z coming back to form and Castro continuing to surprise.

 

Come on Big Z!

[wekim81]

[expletive] can we stop playing effing Koyie Hill

Castro is no longer surprise to me. He seems like the real deal.

[radarluv1]

buck/mccarver or hrabosky/mcdouche?

Hey now, Lou is just trying to preserve the integrity of the divisional races, a la Dusty. Also, gotta showcase Koyie for a potential waiver deal for another middle infielder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[98navigator]

Someone needs to tell McCarver the Cardinals didn't score first last night...

[Outshined_One]

Yay-Ram.

The blind squirrel has his average up to a robust .220

Great play by DeWitt!

 

Too bad we couldn't see it. #-o

Pushing for that big 9-figure contract extension, I see

DLee makes it 3-1. NICE

Maybe Carpenter needs to go yell at his shortstop again.
